I'm a little surprised Robinson is denying he made those posts. Speaking as someone who wrote under a pseudonym (Desmoinesdem) for 10+ years, he didn't cover his tracks well!

It seems like the path of least resistance would be to say that we're all sinners and he found Jesus and doesn't do those things anymore.

And of course to claim: "God has forgiven me – so why won’t you?"

Forgiven him for something he didn’t do?

It’s the Trump playbook. If you’re accused of a bad thing, you deny everything; if you concede even a little, you’ve already lost.

And the guy considers himself a mini-Trump

Not so mini. The weigh-in might well be competitive.

How well does that work for other politicians, though?

I would agree with you in 99% of instances, but the things he was writing about are multiple levels beyond the typical stuff you see. For example, he wrote a detailed comment on a porn message board about graphic sex with his wife's sister. That is a combination of so many adjectives that I almost don't even know where to start other than it being the kind of thing that leaves such an indelible mark that I don't think you can come back from it.

And its far from the only thing and probably not even the worst thing!

Curious; where did you find the actual posts? CNN report? Or some other sources?

That one specifically I got texted about. I texted my friend about where he saw it and he got it from a Twitter account called American Muckrakers

I guess he also had an Ashley Madison account; this guy may be a bigger cheater than Trump(Not even going to comment on his affair with his sister in law)

As a still pseudonymed commenter, I was thinking the same thing. His internet hygiene is terrible.

I wonder if his porn account password was MR123456, or maybe it was "password."
